Secret Invasion is inching closer to premiering on Disney+ each day, and that means Skrull-related tie-in comics and toys are starting to re-emerge as well. A modern Secret Invasion comic book limited series just ended, Hasbro has several Skrull Marvel Legends figures lined up for the fall and Diamond Select Toys just started shipping the

Hasbro revealed an all-new Marvel Legends Spider-Man wave last week, but played coy by not showing the packaging or mentioning the series Build-A-Figure at all. And now it’s clear why: the 2023 Marvel Legends Spider-Man “Retro” wave is now up for pre-order, including no BAF and a mix of vintage-styled and all-new cardback packaging! Individual

Longshot is one of those classic X-Men characters that you can count on showing up every few years in a supporting role (most often in some rehashed Mojo plotline), hanging around for a short tenure and then slinking back into his off-page status quo. I don’t mind Longshot’s guest appearances, but I’ve long since given

It’s been a long, long time coming, but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will finally be hitting movie theaters the first week of May 2023. And that means that for the first time in 6 years, we’ll have a new Hasbro Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy figures series on store shelves as well!

Phase 4 of the MCU doesn’t seem like it’s likely to go down as anybody’s favorite, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe will keep chugging along, with this week’s Ant-Man 3 (Quantumania) hitting theaters this week. And as almost always, a new Marvel movie means a new themed wave of Hasbro action figures! The Ant-Man Marvel

When Hasbro revealed the Black Panther Wakanda Forever Marvel Legends Attuma Series figures, there was clearly something glaringly absent: the titular character of the movie—the new Black Panther. Likely for secrecy reasons, a Shuri Black Panther was not available at launch. But though she was lagging weeks behind, the MCU female Black Panther ML figure

Hasbro didn’t hit us with a complete blitzkrieg of new Marvel Legends 2023 waves during this first month of the year, limiting themselves to just a singular new Build-A-Figure Series solicited (the X-Men Legends Ch’od BAF Series). But that doesn’t mean Hasbro wasn’t busy, as they instead announced a bunch of one-off releases (and put

Earlier this week, Hasbro showed off some brand new Marvel Legends figures, one being a classic Yondu which will be a Target exclusive, and a fan channel exclusive containing two Squadron Supreme members Hyperion & Doctor Spectrum members. It looks like the Classic Guardians of The Galaxy figures will be store exclusives, which is annoying

Diamond Select Toys has been on a bit of a hot streak over the last year with their Marvel Select figures series. Not every figure has been a winner (I’m looking at -you-, Miles Morales), but by and large there have been a lot more hits than misses. And this week, I’ll review a few

The heyday of busts may be over, but you wouldn’t know that from the newest round of Marvel Diamond Select Toys solicitations! Along with an 11” MODOK Marvel Gallery figure, the latest DST solicits include not one, not two, but -three- busts: Wolverine, Venom and Moon Knight! Should any of these new statues be bound

Late last year Hasbro revealed all the figures in an upcoming X-Men wave without telling what the build-a-figure is, Which left fans speculating about who it could be. There were some guesses that it would be the lesser-known villain Ch’od who appeared in the Toybiz X-Men line many years ago. I am not all that

Sometimes you’re lucky and every figure that comes with a piece of a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure you want is a character you’d be buying a $25 toy of anyway. And sometimes… sometimes you’re forced to buy Agent Jimmy Woo. Such is the fate of collectors wanting to complete their Marvel Legends Khonshu BAF! Is it

Just yesterday NECA unveiled the gallery for their upcoming Ultimate Dracula (Carfax Abbey) version which they first teased back in October of last year. Now NECA has revealed the gallery and the figure is available to pre-order in the US. This figure is almost the same as the standard version which is going to be

On Friday the 13th NECA revealed at long last the Universal Monsters Bride of Frankenstein figure and she’s up for pre-order in the US now. I have to say she does look excellent and I am delighted with her and I’m really looking forward to getting her later this year. I’m really impressed with the

Just today Hasbro held their first Indiana Jones Livestream revealing a range of products from all their lines themed on the franchise. If you’re a reader of this site you know I’m mostly interested in the Adventure Series as that’s a line I have been looking forward to for the last few years. Here’s a

2023 has gotten off to a slow start for Marvel Legends collectors, but Hasbro is ready to get the ball rolling today with the first pre-order of the year—which happens to be one that X-Men fans have been waiting for! Featuring some long-requested fan-favorites who have never had mass release action figures before (like Monet

Marvel Legends Zombie Captain America was a 2021 figure that was one of my surprise favorite Hasbro releases of that year. The level of uncharacteristic goriness in a Marvel Legends 6” toy felt fresh and new, and immediately left me wanting more Marvel Zombies figures. It took a bit over a year, but Cap finally

Yesterday I became aware that Toy Fair was moved from February to September this year which means for us collectors what have we got to look forward to this year? Before all the big events in the second half of the year. I have heard that NECA will be holding a live stream next month

Sometime last year Mezco revealed that they would be doing their own versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the One:12 line and just yesterday they revealed they’ll be releasing them in a four-pack and that it won’t be a Mezco exclusive. I knew that they were going to do their own designs for

I know that I don’t often talk about Trick or Treat studio and this article is the first time that I have written about them, the reason being I am very impressed with their latest product line. Just before New Year’s Trick or Treat Studios announced that they will be producing 8″ figures from Killer

On Christmas Day NECA uploaded a new picture of Krampus from Krampus (2015) that they have been teasing since last Christmas. This time the teaser was a picture of the actual figure itself from a short distance away. You cannot see all too many details on the figure from this distance, though you can see

Phase 4 of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) hasn’t exactly been every fan’s cup of tea. But one facet of the “Phase” that I found absolutely captivating was the final episode of Loki Season 1. And now, the ultimate antagonist of that Disney+ (and sort of the next several years of Marvel movies) makes his

Just yesterday NECA uploaded the visual gallery for their Universal Monsters/Classic Monsters line. I find the title Classic Monsters very interesting because up to this point in time the only figures that we have seen them release so far have been Universal Monsters figures dubbing the line as the Universal Monsters Ultimate line, but now

Hasbro promised a strong showing of Heralds to coincide with the release of the mega-sized Haslab Galactus figure this year, and (as long as your favorite herald of Galactus isn’t named Air Walker or Golden Oldie) Hasbro has come through in spades with a new Terrax, the awesome Herald Thor and more—including the subject of

As a tradition for NECA in the runup to Christmas, they upload visual guides for all the releases from all their lines which they update every year if the line is still going. What’s really nice about these are the little surprises and teases that NECA sometimes includes in them. So far they have uploaded

I can count on one hand the number of times a resin statue company has managed to covertly sneak an unannounced all-new sculpture from a popular line all the way through production and successfully announce it via actual in-stock ordering, but that’s just the feat Diamond Select Toys has pulled off with their newest entry

At this point, Hasbro has updated many more Toybiz Marvel Legends figures with their own versions than there are Toybiz ML that haven’t been re-done. But with the subject of today’s review, Hasbro is going for broke by updating a Toybiz figure, doing a new version of a character we’ve seen many times, and also

Hasbro is slowly but surely chipping away at the ranks of old Marvel Legends Build-A-Figures that need an updated re-release, and that trend continues today with the latest solo addition to the lineup: the exclusive Marvel Legends Ronan is now up for order! But is this Amazon Exclusive worth his deluxe price-point? Many of the

Just today NECA uploaded the gallery for the upcoming Phantom of The Opera figure which will be coming out next spring. NECA initially teased the figure during the 31 Nights of Fright which looked excellent. Now it’s great to see the figure in full with pictures of his accessories. The figure looks fantastic and the

Just yesterday Hasbro held their last Marvel Legends live stream of the year and revealed a number of figures most of them from X-Men. They definitely ended the year with a bang with many of the reveals as most of these figures look fantastic! Here’s a list of the reveals: Uncanny X-Men 275 3-pack Gambit,
